Guidance & Instruction Flashcards
You can think of guidance as ___1___ the ____2____ for te learner; providing ___3___ practice. This can be done in 3 ways:
- Solving
- Problem
- Errorless
Ways: 1) manual contact 2) physical barriers 3) step-by-step instruction
Guidance can be considered a form of _____1_____ feedback. Too much may be __2__ because the pt. may become ____3____.
- Augmented
- Bad
- Dependent
Discuss the effect of physical guidance on learning and performance
Learning: can impede learning, but can be helpful. Best practice to error on the side of less and phase out over time
Performance: Yes, however, not ideal for solidifying the motor plan in the long term
Of the 3 types of feedback, ___1___ is best for motor learning.
- KR
Options: Guidance, Concurrent, KR Feedback
3 General rules for guidance
- May be helpful EARLY in practice to get pt. to understand task/solution
- May be OK if the task is to memorize an end point or to facilitate contraction
- Manual guidance and physical barriers can provide a SAFE environment and instill CONFIDENCE
Role of instruction in motor learning (4)
- Give learner idea of movement
- Useful to explain intial/end position
- Can use as foucs for error detection
- Tell learner what to/not to do
Limitations of verbal instruction (5)
- Movement may be too COMPLEX to describe
- Pt. may get caught up in memorizing INSTRUCTIONS over movement
- Instructions have to be ACCURATE
- Can alter performance w/wording (e.g. speed vs. accuracy)
- We set up a DUAL TASK condition (e.g. listen and move)
Instructions that focus on ____1_____ factors help learning, while instructions that focus on ____2____ factors are no better than no instruction.
- Extrinsic
- Intrinsic
3 Strategies that are effective for giving instruction
- Repetition
- Reduce length of phrase
- Reduce complexity of phrase
Others: phrase of endearment, speak slow, speak higher pitch, collective pronouns –“elderspeak”
